Track & Food 38: Cody Dodds of The Mackenzie Room On Starting A New Concept, Maintaining Success And The Guest Experience

In our first episode of 2020 we were thrilled to bring on current Mackenzie Room Wine Director and soon to be General Manager of the Mackenzie group’s second restaurant, Say Mercy, one Mr. Cody Dodds. 

A good friend of Jamie’s, Cody gave us the goods on what diners should expect from Say Mercy as we cover the restaurant’s philosophy, style and what they aim to produce. Trust us, it looks to be fantastic. 

From there, we were excited to pick his brain on his love of wine, restaurant reservations ideas and much much more. 

This was by far one of our best chats this year and a great one to end the year and decade on. We hope you enjoy it. 

Say Mercy will be located up on Fraser Street. They aim to open by mid to late January. Scout Magazine did a feature on them. Have a read to learn more.

Cody also did a wine feature for Jamie on Scout as well. Do check it if you’re looking for delicious BC wines to try.

Also, if you’ve never been to The Mackenzie Room, do go! It’s the best. Make sure you try The Chicken of the Sea. Delicious!
